How does beef taste anyway? I have resolved to never eat it because of my religious upbringing, although I am an atheist now. How does it taste?

The closest analogy that I have found is Ostrich, though that tastes of beef and liver. Venison, aka deer, is much like beef, but with almost no fat, so you have to mix it with a fatty meat to use it as beef, even then there's a richer "beefyness" to the end result.

I wish I had tried an antelope steak, when I had the ability to do so, I suspect that would be closer to beef in taste and fat content upon further research.

I haven't eaten beef in like more than 30 years, but I remember that it tasted good when I used to eat it

It's overrated in my opinion. It's tasty but not mind blowing in any way like the internet claims. I've had better tasting fried chicken to be honest.

It's the best meat imo. Way better than pork and sheep

If you were born after 1985 and are American your views on pork's flavor aren't exactly spot on. We moved to leaner breeds in the 1980s and as a result our pork has a lot less flavor than it used to. There's a richness to heritage breeds like the ones Neiman Ranch sells that have that flavor still. Other nations I do not believe made this shift.

I'm from austria and if this were the case here, boomers and milenials would constantly nag about it.

Infact complaining is part of austrian culture (it's called "sudern", this word is only used in austria and bavaria)

go away temptation. gooo....

Just kidding, if I feel like I am missing something, I might give it a go, But, I doubt if I will

Thing is, your opinion on it will be dependent upon how it is prepared and by whom. When I have beef in dishes like stir fry or brigiole or even in a roast beef sandwich, it's not particularly impressive and is usually second fiddle to the vegetables, pasta or bread. However, a quality beef burger or steak made medium-rare and seasoned properly is just amazing. The other thing though is that if you have never had it, it just might make you sick or at the very least plagued woth indigestion
